In this episode of the Leading By History podcast, host Ma'asehyahu Isra-Ul speaks with public historian and Executive Director of the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation - Christy Coleman. The discussion is centered in Living History and the complicated role that historical reenactments play in historical education. Should classroom simulations address the historical realities of slavery and racism or should it be left "to the professionals" (in that space)? What exactly is a historical reenactment and how does this work translate into a K-12 classroom? If you are looking to find understanding and clarity on the "Dos and Don'ts" of reenactments and simulations - this is the show you need to access. Pull out your smart device and take notes because this will provide just the insight you need.
